Loss of Biodiversity: Will the project involve introduction of alien species (in case of aquaculture projects)?
|
|
|
|
Degradation of natural aquatic ecosystems - if the project involves discharges in water courses and reservoirs of solid wastes; pesticides; cutting of protective shelterbelts.
|
|
|
|
Weeds, pests, diseases: will the project contribute to spreading of weeds, pests and animal and plant diseases?
|
|
|
|
Sedimentation of water bodies - will the project contribute to sedimentation of water bodies due to soil erosion?
|
|
|
|
Socio-economic environment
|
Social impacts - does the project involve the following: (a) occupational safety issues; (b) health hazards; (c) involuntary land acquisition or displacement of third parties using land; (d) loss of access to sources of income; (e) loss of physical and/or economic assets; and (f) disturbance of residents living near the project area.
|
|
|
|
Does the project per national legislation require public consultation to consider local people environmental concerns and inputs?
|
|
|
|
Will the project assure non-deterioration of human health, occupational safety and non-disturbance of residents living near project area? If no, is it possible by applying proposed mitigation measures to reduce the project environmental and social impacts to admissible levels?

Form 2 .
(to be completed by the RO environmental specialist based on the findings of the environmental screening process)
1. Sub-project Environmental Risk Category (High, Substantial, Moderate or Low)____ (if project is categorized as High or Substantial no needs to fill next pares – sub-project could not be included into the project)
2. Subproject activities will be implemented:
in or near sensitive and valuable ecosystems — wetlands, wild lands, and habitat of endangered species -__(yes or no)
in or near areas with archaeological and/or historical sites or existing cultural and social institutions - __(yes or no)
in densely populated areas, where resettlement may be required or potential pollution impact and other disturbances may significantly affect communities - __(yes or no)
in regions subject to heavy development activities or where there are conflicts in natural resource allocation; along watercourses, in aquifer recharge areas or in reservoir catchments used for potable water supply; and on lands or waters containing valuable resources (such as fisheries, minerals, medicinal plants, prime agricultural soils) - (yes or no)
If any “yes” - the sub-project will not be financed
3. Confirmation of subproject risk classification:
If Low – no further due diligence
If Moderate – ESMP is required
